• The Independent Study Mentorship (ISM) Advanced Academic course is designed
for students wishing to mentor an adult professional in a chosen career. With the
mentor and the teacher-facilitator, each student will create a unique plan of study
and receive individual instruction. Students leave the high school campus and go to
the mentor’s place of business to study with professionals.

• ISM students are required to have a project each semester over a topic that deals
with their Mentors career.
